The PORTfolio Program at Virginia Wesleyan College is a unique four-year initiative that helps students bridge theory and practice while formulating personal, curricular, and career goals. Established in 1998, the program emphasizes hands-on learning and community engagement through required service hours and team-taught seminars. Students create an online portfolio serving as a resume, enhancing their job prospects. With opportunities for internships and externships, the PORTfolio Program guides students in applying their skills to real-world environments, fostering personal growth and professional readiness.
